Changing workflow ownership

Hi,

Is it possible in custom workflow to change owner and how one can do that? It might also work if the ownership is assigned to the group instead of individual person. We want to cover scenario when the workflow creator have to leave for vacation or sick leave, and somebody else from the same group of people have to replace him.
